With generous dimensions of 201 x 1,564 and no HOA restrictions, the property invites you to create a personalized retreat with plenty of room for guest homes, gardens, workshops, and recreational space.

Downtown Orlando, the airport, and Central Florida's world-famous attractions are all within easy reach. A county environmental review shows portions of the property include wetlands, while also identifying upland areas that may be suitable for future development. With professional guidance and proper planning, this land holds strong potential for your next project or long-term investment.
University of Central Florida, located between Alafaya Trail and University Boulevard, is a campus-centered and suburban University neighborhood with a lake-dotted landscape and a web of multiuse trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Memory Mall and Student Union, where shaded lawns, food counters, and event stages keep the sidewalks in motion. Modern academic buildings and mid-rise housing sit beside preserved wetlands, giving daily routines a park-like backdrop. The Addition Financial Arena and UCF Arboretum act as local anchors for games, concerts, and quiet boardwalk walks. Along Gemini Boulevard, bike lanes and shuttle stops stitch together classrooms, research hubs, and cafés. At night, the lit paths around Lake Claire and the Recreation and Wellness Center set a steady, active tempo.
